Also, as for WINS, just use itself twice, and not the partner WINS. Make
sure both WINS are partners. I've seen errors due to this since the WINS
server needs an entry for itself to own it's own record. If it registers
with the other one, can cause a conflict in ownership during replication. On
the clients, list both of them.
